UK Filings Put ‘Rise of Skywalker’ Cost at $593.7 Million, Third Most Expensive Film

Legally required UK accounts place the gross cost at $593.7 million, with a $103.8 million rebate lowering Disney’s outlay.

Overview

  • The reported figure comes from UK production company financial statements tied to tax incentive filings, making the costs public years after release.
  • At $593.7 million, the film ranks behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Jurassic World: Dominion in all-time production spending.
  • Disney received a $103.8 million UK reimbursement, bringing net production spending to approximately $489.9 million.
  • The movie earned $1.077 billion worldwide; applying a typical 50/50 exhibitor split yields about $538.5 million to Disney and an estimated $48.6 million theatrical profit.
  • Marketing costs and ancillary revenues such as home entertainment, streaming, and merchandise remain undisclosed, and Disney stresses those factors determine overall profitability.
